give the gift of a class:

Our famously excellent food writing class with Devra Ferst begins January 21st! Intel here.

Part two of our soon to be supah famous and already excellent screenwriting class with Sophie Finkelstein begins February 5th! (Then we are starting over and heading back to part one March 26...)

 → Gorgeous new book from the lovely Andrew Barton: 

"A counterculture cookbook for these strange times. 

Mixing memoir and loose recipes, this book intends to inspire a “free” approach to cooking and eating. A literally down-to-earth approach – as in: food grown, purchased, cooked, and consumed with an awareness of the Earth. A reflection on an idealistic, optimistic, possibility-fueled young adulthood spent around tables of co-op houses and would-be communes. An appreciation for groovy, light-hearted, no-rules cuisine. 

Hippies of the past dreamt of a better world from their kitchens, and today we can do the same as we cook and eat in more informed, conscious, intentional ways. 

This book is a love letter to Eugene, Oregon – a small city where this free spirited food and mindset have long been commonplace – and takes a close look at the formative food memories that make us hunger for another taste. 

Free Food is a not-done-dreaming exploration of alternative ways of living in the now." 

 → Si, we have a few turkeys left if you were like - meh, I don't wanna do turkey at Thanksgiving this year. And now are like, oof I missed the turkey vibes and now I want a turkey at Christmas like the British people, etc. We also have pork shoulder, lamb, whole chickens, and so many other proteins all year round in our meat freezer. 

 → A big gifty bread box from our cookware maker of choice, La Brigade de Buyer. Everything you need to become a real live bread person! Complete with lame razor thingy.

 → Many fun holiday cards :)

 → Also, just a funny satisfying note that we have had or still have in stock EVERY SINGLE ONE of these tinned fishies except for just one (the intense lil baby anchovies at the end) in this new NY Times Wirecutter best of article. 

clipped of the week (a reminder that this email gets clipped!) →
